- TheMatches, on 11/14/2007, -6/+1071Dugg for teenagers doing good things.
Also Dugg for no tazing being involved. - guymal, on 11/14/2007, -3/+747I blame video games :)
- ManMadeSpoon, on 11/13/2007, -4/+459Honestly, I probably would of second-guessed myself in that situation, but that kid did what he had to do. Kid has elephant balls.
- bdub92, on 11/14/2007, -3/+278Dugg for Mythbuster's influence on the young generation!
- cawfee, on 11/14/2007, -5/+272Story about a guy brave enough to save someone's life: 5 minutes of news coverage
Story about a guy stupid enough to shoot up a school: 2 weeks of prime news material.
Kudos to the kid though, that was mighty brave. - imabigboy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+211Nice to read a good story once in awhile.
- flamingmb, on 11/13/2007, -10/+199"kids are buying me ice-blocks and hamburgers."
what the ***** are ice-blocks? - UNL1M1T3D, on 11/12/2007, -4/+169Not to be confused with elephantiasis of the balls.
- ghee, on 11/10/2007, -7/+157"I had my girlfriend make him a medallion recognizing his bravery, humanity, and what he did," [Mark O'Dwyer] said.
I think it's funny that he made his girlfriend make the kid a medallion. "He saved my life so it BETTER look nice!! And make me some food after you're done!"
The girlfriend is probably like "Stupid kid..." - cococooky, on 11/12/2007, -6/+153An ice-cream on a stick. I think Americans call them Popsicles.
- Pinhedd, on 11/12/2007, -2/+140I learned how to carry unconcious men by playing Splinter Cell
- EvaMonkey01, on 11/13/2007, -14/+132Don't Train Me, Bro.
...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Digg me Down I deserve it - wishninja, on 11/12/2007, -6/+112punks also watch a lot of mythbusters? I guess everyone must like that show and I thought I was the only one.
- xTRUMANx, on 11/12/2007, -0/+92Ice Block = http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9616/vlcsnap117 ...
It took me less than min to find the episode, take a snapshot and host the image. I am such a nerd. - iceman0113, on 11/10/2007, -2/+88This dweeb just saved a man's life. What have you done with your life that's so significant?
- cococooky, on 11/12/2007, -3/+76It is stuff like this that restores my faith in humanity.
- Flashman, on 11/12/2007, -9/+80If I'd tried that, we'd both be dead. No way could I lift 110kg of passed-out man back onto a train platform.
- BillyParks, on 11/12/2007, -0/+69Wow, Kid is a hero.. Nicely Done!
- REsplin, on 11/10/2007, -3/+68Also Dugg for not titling this "BEST 14 YEAR OLD EVER!!!!"
- Barnolde, on 11/10/2007, -0/+61"I'd seen that on MythBusters, so I stayed right back and pulled Mark back towards me."
It's a good thing he didn't try this at home, Adam and Jamie would've been pissed. - lanzemurdok, on 11/13/2007, -3/+60what a good story. But did anyone find the title of his song "I saved your soul" kinda cocky?
- complexigon, on 11/10/2007, -1/+58Yeh, it gets real hot down under - it's great when someone buys you A GIANT ***** BLOCK OF ICE.
- GeckoSlayer, on 11/10/2007, -3/+59In trying to make a funny comment, you just made yourself look like a douche.
- chrillen, on 11/10/2007, -1/+53The kitchen is that way.
- theone3, on 11/13/2007, -15/+67Vote Ron Paul 2008, In soviet Russia, noun verb pronoun, Hitler, Godwins Law, lol, omgwtfbbq, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU , http://icanhascheezburger.com/ , http://imatt.us/mt/archives/orly.JPG , AYBABTU etc, etc. Can we get on with it now?
- jmoo1, on 11/12/2007, -5/+52yeah, damn those punk kids and their video games! In my day...
- junskey, on 11/10/2007, -2/+49oi! to the punks and oi! to the skins
oi! to the world and everybody wins :D - herro, on 11/12/2007, -1/+47wait, what was that last one?
- Nar1117, on 11/12/2007, -0/+43You'd be surprised how much weight you could lift when not only your life, but another man's life depended on it.
- junskey, on 11/10/2007, -3/+44his band
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=us ... - DanielNoS, on 11/10/2007, -1/+41How many points is the 'Save an Old Man' Achievement worth?
- EvaMonkey01, on 11/13/2007, -0/+38Just a touch, yeah.
But let's give him his cockiness this one time, he kinda deserved it. - Kurisuku, on 11/10/2007, -1/+38No one will ever be able to tell this kid he isn't really punk. Because this pretty much proves he is.
- GiggleStick, on 11/10/2007, -0/+37Maybe she's a jeweler and knows how to do that, and he doesn't it.
- gradeahonky, on 11/10/2007, -0/+34You know, if the kid risked his life, saved the man's life, and then stole his wallet, I'd still be impressed with the kid.
- UNL1M1T3D, on 11/10/2007, -9/+41Stupid tazing comments in 3...2...1...
- ninjakoala, on 11/10/2007, -1/+33Don't forget the music!
- themastersb, on 11/10/2007, -3/+35Friends were buying him "Ice Blocks"? What are those? (I'm not expecting it to be just a block of ice)
- TheSabre, on 11/12/2007, -2/+30Agree. Teenages doing good deeds certainly deserves digging. Thankfully, it was a punk teenager too. Because if it was an emo teenager, he probably would have just laid on the tracks and been like "life's so hard; woe is me".
- vroom101, on 11/11/2007, -5/+33Hero.
- zelowlifeaiss, on 11/12/2007, -3/+31he didn't lift him on, he just pulled him under the platform away from the train tracks.
- elZoido, on 11/10/2007, -1/+28Mythbusters is shown on free to air TV in Australia as well as on the Discovery Channel. It's one of SBS' highest rating shows.
- 1town, on 11/10/2007, -4/+29No, it had to be said, and i lol'ed -.-
- mattcoady, on 11/13/2007, -0/+25Guys, seriously, stop leaving these things on my lawn...
- empraptor, on 11/10/2007, -0/+24Maybe he has an arm in a cast and has back injuries.
Ah sorry. The arm's on a sling. Maybe he just felt lazy? - Catgofire, on 11/14/2007, -1/+25"Julian Shaw, who is 180 centimetres tall and weighs 70 kilograms, was travelling home from school with classmates when he saw Mr O'Dwyer, who is 187 centimetres tall and weighs 110 kilograms, fall. Julian leapt into action."
lol... sounds like a bad physics problem. Oh speaking of which that's due in a few hours... - Kikkomann, on 11/10/2007, -5/+28To those wondering what "ice blocks" are (they're like Popsicles):

Anyhow, this is a nice breather from all those news about teenage angst (teen hires hitman to kill parents, 12-Y.O. Filipina commits suicide due to extreme poverty, 15-Y.O. cums in her sister's face, etc.) - Takteek, on 11/09/2007, -1/+23I have a strange feeling that those aren't what he was talking about.
- sailadayaway, on 11/10/2007, -1/+22Didn't Mythbusters prove that you don't get sucked into a speeding train?
- unwill, on 11/09/2007, -3/+24On the article:
"[As the train roared past] the noise pierced your ears and there was a suction that pulled us in," Julian said.
"I'd seen that on MythBusters, so I stayed right back and pulled Mark back towards me."
Mythbusters:
The vortex from a passing train can suck a person onto the tracks. -Busted- -
